Swine Flu...:(

It's official...Eli's test results came back positive for Swine Flu. It's scary, but I'm happy to say he's acting like he feels much better today. Yesterday we took him to urgent care with diarrhea and a fever of 102.5... the Dr. wanted to rule out influenza so she sent us to the hospital for further testing. There's not much we can do but wait it out and say our prayers it doesn't get worse. Turns out Estin most likely had it last week when his fever was also 102.5...he's doing LOADS better now! I'll keep you posted!

Gardner Village...

Tonight for FHE we walked around Gardner Village near our *future* apartments. It was a lot of fun! We had a list of witches to find and once we found them all we could trade the list in for a cookie! Estin loved running around and dancing to the music. I LOVE autumn!!!
Estin was afraid to sit by the witch... even with daddy...
That would be caramel apple and a chocolate chip cookie all over his face!

Growing up too fast!!!

Helping Dad...

Estin's becoming handy... just like his dad! (Uncle Jordan and Cael pictured also)

Ward Initiation...

Ok... so not really... but Sunday we got out of church to find our van had been egged. We joked that the RS sisters had snuck out and instead of leaving zucchini, they left eggs.... splattered all over our van. We figure since our van still has new tags on it, it was an easy target. Oh well, in case you saw us breaking the Sabbath at the car wash on Sunday, that's why!

Free Time...

I've had a lot of free time after the boys go to bed (now that Justin is a studying man again) so I figured I'd make the most of my time and FINALLY start Estin's (yes...I'm that far behind) scrapbook. It's nothing fancy, but using my creative side relaxes me. So far I've finished 26 pages this week! :) Here's a sample...

My Boys...

My sweet boys make me smile more every day I'm with them...

Mission Reunion....

Friday night was my MJM (Mississippi Jackson Mission) reunion. I debated on whether or not I should go seeing as it's been over 6 years since I came home! (WOW!) I'm glad I went... I really wanted to show off my adorable family. There weren't a lot of people I knew... but it was nice to catch up with the ones I did...
Coral was one of the YW I served around in Monroe, LA. She was 14 at the time... I can't believe how fast time flies!

This was my trainer in the field. Her daughter is 5 days younger than Eli (she also has 2 little boys)
President and Sister Sheffield. I love them both!
